In this great debate, the IQ of the social group as high as 108 played a role, preventing the entire whole from blind chaos. The opposition was loud, but those who blindly opposed it were quickly drowned out by the huge criticism.
Everyone's focus is different. Some people are concerned about the short-term and long-term benefits that new humans can obtain by cooperating with hemispheric civilizations. Some people are making suggestions on what the government should do to prevent the other party from gaining too much at a low price. Many high-end technologies, etc.; some people are concerned about whether there will be a conflict of culture and ideology after the alliance between the two parties...
There are also a large number of scholars who are concerned about the social systems of hemispheric civilizations. Is there anything that humans can learn from?
In particular, those articles represented by "Key Political Bureau Chief" Ma Mingtao quickly caused a stir.
"Personal self-awareness" seems to have really become an obstacle to the development of civilization.
This is where the quarrel becomes most intense.
"...Personal memory can be said to be the most private and core thing. If memory is transparent and can be modified over and over again, what kind of security is there? This future is simply terrifying! What is the purpose of modifying our memory? ?Is it for the betterment of oneself, or for the betterment of the entire civilization? Or for the personal selfish desires of some dictators, for better rule?"
There are many science fiction works that describe similar stories. For example, a character in a certain novel suddenly masters the power of memory modification. He rules the world by modifying his memory and becomes the only one. dictator.
Or maybe some collective problems have occurred in the modified memory, causing a large number of people to go crazy in time and space, etc.
This kind of worry is not unfounded, but - memory modification is indeed a very tempting, but it is a real black technology.
Like strong artificial intelligence, humans do not have a high degree of mastery and understanding of it. Even though humans have been cracking memory for a long, long time, most of its applications are still virtual world-related methods. That black box has still not been completely cracked.
If used well, human beings can become more perfect creatures; if used poorly, new human civilization can easily go directly into the bottomless abyss.
But having said that, humans are currently far away from modifying the illusory genetic philosophy, and we don't know what to do. Modifying the memory can be done to a certain extent.
If you want to become a level five civilization, this is a good shortcut.
Some extreme people in society believe that even hemispheric civilizations can master this method to a certain extent. Why can't humans? Has the deep-rooted traditional culture become an obstacle to social development?
There are many voices for and against this idea.
"...We have an old saying in ancient times: Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. If you are not willing to modify your own memory, why should you promote this technology to the next generation?"
"It's so scary to modify memory! Whose memory template should we use? There are no saints in our civilization, and there really are no pure and perfect people in the world!"
"Although I don't want to, I am very willing! I don't want to be a salty fish. I can't seem to lose weight with my own willpower. Let's come up with an awesome template to save myself!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I also want to lose weight. I exercise for 2 hours every day. I envy those people who have good figures and are willing to spend time exercising every day. I just want to have their perseverance. Can you develop such technology and change it a little bit? There's no problem with the memory."
Netizens can always come up with many wonderful ideas.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the vast majority of people on the Internet were relatively rational. According to the current situation, it can be said that this matter was basically accepted without risk.
He wrote on his post: "Dear friends, hello everyone, I am Zhang Yuan. Now I will answer some questions for you. In fact, there are many different modes of memory. The bottom one is worldview and values, which involves a person's worldview and values. Views on the world, personal interests and hobbies, and what industry will bring you pleasure... As the saying goes, you will see your elders when you are three years old, and you will see your old age when you are seven years old. That's it. The worldview of a child is very important."
"Then the higher end is the serious picture memory. What you have experienced in daily life, your beautiful childhood, high school, college, etc., are stored in the brain in the form of pictures. What everyone thinks of as privacy should refer to It's these pictorial memories."
"The most advanced thing is the application of various knowledge. Memorizing a formula has no meaning. What is meaningful is the application of the formula. This is really difficult."
"If you only use this technology to modify the world view, I can still accept it. Everyone wants to make themselves more perfect!"
Soon, comments appeared under the post.
"Ouch!"
"Don't accept it, don't defend it!"
"The holy mother bitch has started to mislead the country again."
"The scientific research dog of Unreal Lab passed by and added the boss's point of view. This technology is not very mature yet. If you modify the memory randomly, you will only change yourself into an idiot. And we don't have the so-called saint memory template. This thing It's really difficult to determine how to define it. What does it mean to be a more perfect self..."
Zhang Yuan kept reading these posts in front of the computer. Now he has a unique hobby. It is also interesting to read the comments from these netizens.
It is the differences between people that constitute the rich and colorful new human civilization. Among this group of netizens, there are some who are stupid, some who are serious, some who are virgins, and some who pretend to be virgins and even cheat. There are also some shady people...
It is precisely this kind of difference that makes the new human civilization rich and colorful.
As for whether the so-called excess self-awareness will in turn hinder the development of civilization... I can only say that when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon waxes and wanes, excess of this thing is not good, but it cannot be completely eliminated.
Zhang Yuan once visited the social network system of hemispheric civilizations. Their network culture is not as rich as humans. On the contrary, it seems a bit dull, and everyone speaks in a very serious manner. There are no headlines in the news, and there is no gossip.
Hemispheric civilization only has 366 memory templates, which is equivalent to only 366 thinking patterns. Many people in the hemisphere actually have similar ideas. Although the spiritual quality of each individual is excellent, this monotony has formed a thinking paradigm to a certain extent, inhibited the emergence of new culture, and even hindered the progress of science to a certain extent...
